Course Description
The course will lay out the founding ideas of some of the more advanced C# topics for you in a way that makes them easier to understand.
The course is aimed at students that have some coding experience in general and with C# in particular, as well as some Object Oriented Programming experience. Not all topics require OOP knowledge, but it will be easier for you to understand those that do.
The topics that we are covering are:
- LINQ - LINQ is kind of a language within the C# language, it has its own syntax, but its very easy and very enjoyable to use. LINQ is used to work on collections like arrays and lists, either to order them, or to extract information from them in many many many different ways. You will learn how apply LINQ filters on base type collections like integers and strings aswell as on collections of custom types that you have created.
- Lambda Expressions with LINQ methods - you will finally learn what a Lambda Expression is and how to apply it, in particular we will use it to perform LINQ operations with even less code, and later we will use it with Delegates and Events
- Extension Methods - this is one of the coolest features of C#, they allow you to extend built in types and classes that you have no access to. For example the int[] has no built in method for sorting or reversing, we will learn how to do this!
- Generic Methods and Classes - this is where things start to get tricky and a little bit complicated, but you should not be scared as I have prepared a couple of well explained examples that will answer all of the questionmarks in your head about Generics. Spoiler alert: we will create our very own List class! :)
- Delegates - the simplest way in which a delegate can be described is, methods as variables, and that is just incredible. How? Well, you will understand soon enough!
- Events - events are the next piece of the puzzle after Delegates, Events help us keep our code decoupled by creating non-coupled connections between classes
- Asynchronous Programming - asynchronous programming is a complex and frustrating topic, here we will learn how to make code that takes a lot of time to execute run on the background, while our main code continues executing
There are tons and tons of tutorials on Youtube and other websites, so why would you have to pay for this course?
The answer is very simple, in this course you will get every single lecture systemized in such way, that it ensures smooth transition between the previous and the following topic. Guaranteeing great learning experience.
There are no stones left unturned, everything is explained in great detail (but not too much, that would be boring :) )
The video lectures in the course are produced with the highest possible audio and video quality. No static noises to disturb you while you watch the videos, no blurry images, everything is crystal clear with crisp audio!

Tod Vachev
I have graduated at Technical University of Varna as a Robotics Engineer. With several years of experience as a Passionate Developer and Engineer, I am now an Online Entrepreneur. Teaching is one of my passions, and what better and more impactful way to teach, than to do it online with thousands of students?
Currently focusing on providing quality education to tens of thousands of students across the globe, on subjects including:
- Programming, focusing on the C# Programming Language
- MATLAB, because this is a scientific tool that no scientist can do without
- Running Online Businesses that Earn Passive Income
For the past four years I have focused on the above and I have never stepped into the 9 to 5 world, I have worked in a company only once in my entire life and it lasted only 2 months. That's when I realized that, I can't learn the things that I want and I can't buy the things that I want buy working for someone else. You should start working for yourself aswell!
It does not matter if you want to become a developer or to run niche sites around the web, you can do both of these things in your own time as a freelancer or a business owner. And I can teach you how to do both of these things.

This is a very good course. Straight to the point and contains a lot of helpful information. I just hope that there won't be any references from other course as that made it harder for me to follow the material since i didn't have any context of what the previous course was. Nonetheless, i still learned a lot from this course. Many thanks to our instructor.
By Pierre Gatoux on 4/30/2024
Really good course, I would recommend it. Straight to the point and well explained. I removed one star for two reasons: 1. I wish there were some exercises, some time to pause and reflect and test our understanding, especially for Lambda expressions 2. The pace can sometimes be too fast, I struggled to follow a couple of time because the instructor was scrolling up and down the code too quickly. Still, I'm glad I purchased this course and I know I will come back to it, from time to time, to refresh my memory...

Just finished section 7, this is the first course I've reviewed before completing. Tod's pace is perfect. I have watched many "advanced" C# courses. I do believe there were a few missed opportunities to drive home some points, but again Tod's pace was perfect so I had just enough time to take what was said, form a question in my mind, hit pause and go research a bit before moving on. One example of this was delegates, I knew a lot about delegates coming into the course, but he filled in some gaps and left me with enough information to ask detail related questions. After a bit of investigation I now understand how the 'delegate' keyword is actually creating a derived type of the MulticastDelegate. Honestly the course hasn’t felt epic because of my initial baseline, but it kind of is because I’ve learned or really solidified what I believed from every section.

The course was good and very informative. He did a great job of breaking down most of the lectures, and I walked away understanding a lot more. I am able to look at code from a senior developer and understand what is going on, where I was not able to prior to this course. I believe the delegate section could have been done a bit differently, and eased into delegates with a very basic example before jumping into an example where we pass the delegate as a parameter. I had to google it before I could understand what was happening in and could continue with the rest of the delegate lectures. The only other thing I wish this course would have had was exercises at the end of each section like the Object Oriented Programming course had. It is difficult to grasp these advanced concepts without being able to practice.
By Juan S Toscano on 3/10/2020
The contents are pretty useful to better understand and apply the concepts, given these are quite used in many applications nowadays. However, some lessons seemed to take a sudden change in their direction, as there was almost no indicator "here's the theory, now go into the practice" (specially in the first sections). It might help if the examples took place in some near to real life situations, maybe with a shared context (i.e. a situation to get solved / an application to be improved by gradually applying the concepts) rather than apparently random scenarios. Also, I've seen in other courses that the instructor gives a context of practical exercises and some time to figure out a possible solution, before showing it step-by-step.

It was a really useful course that helped me dive into a more advanced side of C#.
By Mal Clarke on 4/24/2019
Another great course from Tod. I highly recommend his C# courses over many of the others here on Udemy. If you're looking for clear explanations of what's actually being done and can be done, Tod's courses are definitely the ones you should be taking. One con to this course is the lack of exercises and practicing what is being explained, although by this point perhaps it's expected that you'll just go off and practice on your own.
By Jeannine Zills on 1/27/2019
This course is good for those individuals who have not written any C# for some years. It gets you up to speed on so many new things that make coding more concise and with less lines. These are things that may look a bit complicated if you are reading newer code after some years and this course will help you understand this use of the newer C# functionality.
By Andrei Senseutchi on 3/15/2018
This is my 3rd course from Tod and I am simply amazed by the consistent quality of the lectures. He describes the principles; He writes the code in a simple manner; He explains the code; He rewrites the code in an advanced manner (refactors it); It's efficient, clear and comprehensive. It is also so dense with concepts, that after taking the course, I have to go back and re-do it.
By Eduardo Medina on 2/23/2018
Awesome course for advance topics: Now I understood many concepts that back in the days were so difficult to me. I would like that the teacher "Tod Vachev" could expand the following topics: Generics and Async Programming. Thank you so much for the support and all the struggle making this course. Please, very please open anothe course of what's next of C# Advance Topics, how can I increase my skills and really I would like a course of C# good practices in real world. Kind regards.
